Remmy 700 tinker mood............

[asquires2]

Im thinking I would like to convert my Remmy 700 to a detachable mag. What would it take to make that happen?

 

[sloughfoot]

Dollars, bucks, dinero. Others have done it. There are people who can do it for you. Not a big deal.

I prefer stripper clips. But that is just me.

inlet the stock for one of th emany available, bolt uo and rock and roll.

Labor is anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour depending on what you use.

H-S precision, Badger Ordance, Seekins and Hooper ordance are just a few.

Here's an old HS Pewcision set up I had. 5 minutes dropped right in

So its something I can do while watching TV? Where would I get the things needed to started and is there any special tools needed?

Brownell's, sandpaper and patience

I've wanted to do it for a while. The conversions seem to be expensive in my way of thinking, plus mags are proprietary and expensive. I was hoping to do it in a manner that would allow me to use some of the 50 M14 mags I have.

Yeah I haven't really thought of the total price but I know by the time I replace the stock and the conversion, Ill probably have enough in just that to buy a neww rifle but I figure since I like the rifle so much I might as well put my touches on it seeing as to how it will be with me for a life time. I sold the rifle once and bought it back so it's here to stay.

If that's the case look into the AI chassis system!

The Bell & Carlson stocks are pretty nice and work well with the mag modification. I have an A5 B&C stock and it's pretty nice. I know a Gunsmith could do the mod for the M14 mags but I'd like to do it myself. I have another Remmy 700 in 308 that I might sell to finance the mods to the PSS.

ill be doing it on my 700 build so ill have more info later. i think im going to have the smith inlet the stock for me. id hate to screw up a manners stock to save a few bucks

 

[asquires2]

Better late than never ! I finally put a B&C stock on my Remmy 700 now Im on to the mag convertion.

 

[42769vette]

i ended up doing it myself and it was not big deal.

 

[asquires2]

Thats what I will end uo doing as soon as I can find one to fit the budget.
